Just What I Needed It For - Rated This book was perfect & covered all the areas we wanted to travel to. Came in very handy. My only gripe was the lack of maps & pictures. Very disappointing! - Rated When I first found this book, a new one claiming to cover the entire island of Borneo, I thought it would fill an important gap. Sadly, it didn't take long to disappoint! First, it is horribly out of date. Even though it was published in 2006, it actually gives visa information for Indonesia as it was before February 2004, claiming no visa is required when in fact new, harsher visa requirements had been in force for over two years! Coverage of Indonesian Borneo is merely nominal. Even though Kalimantan covers 2/3 of the island, it gets just a few pages in this book, less than it does in other guidebooks covering all of Indonesia (Rough Guide Indonesia is best for Kalimantan). Out of the (only) four Kalimantan provinces, one (Central Kalimantan) doesn't even get a separate chapter, being dumped together with South. So in effect, this is a book to Malaysian Borneo and Brunei, though even there, it doesn't go beyond the main tourist spots, covered in all Malaysia guides. Don't waste your money on it!
